I thought i would share a few of my favourite getaways as I have had a lot of requests about some of the places i have been visaing lately.

I believe to maintain a well balanced life we should take time out of our schedules even for a quick weekend stay at a wonderful location where we can spend time with family and experience the natural surroundings.

Recently we took time out to visit Bannisters Pavilion at Mollymook beach. Fortunately or unfortunately as we decided to escape the city at last minute, all that was available was the penthouse and reluctantly i accepted (trust me it wasnt” hard). The Penthouse was so beautiful that we didn’t even want to leave the suite.. We arrived early but the staff were so helpful they got us into our suite within half an hour of arrival and just in time for lunch on the rooftop at Pavilion. Great place to relax, read a book and just spend some quality family time. They even still provide board games and dvd’s. Whilst we were there as all visitors we decided to dine at Rick Steins. Some of the dishes were a true example of the flavours that Rick is famous for…. try the prawn and Eastern Rock Lobster Thermidor! Unfortunately, we were disappointed with some parts of the service but thankfully it did not spoil our overall experience.Thank you Bannisters hotels for the perfect weekend :)
